The Director-General of the Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), Mr. Joseph Tegbe, is currently on a high-level working visit to the People’s Republic of China, aimed at attracting strategic development projects and deepening industrial cooperation with key Chinese partners.
During the visit, Mr. Tegbe held a productive meeting with SYS Company, a leading water engineering and environmental solutions firm specializing in wastewater recycling and renewable energy generation. Discussions focused on the potential deployment of SYS’s innovative technologies in Nigeria, particularly in converting wastewater into reusable resources and power. The initiative aligns with Nigeria’s commitment to environmental sustainability and the development of a circular economy that supports energy diversification.
In pursuit of Nigeria’s industrialization agenda, Mr. Tegbe also met with the leadership of Jingye Steel, one of China’s foremost private steel manufacturers with a global footprint. The engagement explored the possibility of establishing integrated steel mills in Nigeria—a critical step toward strengthening local capacity for steel production and supporting key sectors such as infrastructure, automotive manufacturing, and construction.
Earlier in the visit, the Director-General held a follow-up meeting with executives of CSSC Haishen, advancing a prior understanding between the Chinese firm and CPL Ltd, a leading Nigerian medical and pharmaceutical equipment company. The meeting centered on securing competitive pricing for medical equipment, enhancing knowledge transfer and operational support, and identifying financing solutions to ensure the long-term sustainability of the healthcare modernization initiative.
These strategic engagements underscore NCSP’s broader mission to build transformative partnerships that harness China’s technological expertise and Nigeria’s development priorities—delivering practical outcomes across health, industry, infrastructure, and environmental innovation.
